A release from New Mexico baseball:

University of New Mexico freshmen Carl Stajduhar, Tyler Stevens and Cory Voss recently were all named Louisville Slugger Freshmen All-Americans by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. It was the first time the Lobos have ever had more than one Freshman All-American in one year.

“This is a big, big deal,” UNM head coach Ray Birmingham said, “and it is well deserved. These are three outstanding young men.”

A native of Fort Collins, Stajduhar set a new UNM freshman record for RBIs with 53. He led the team in hits (75), doubles (21), home runs (9), and total bases (127), and he was second in runs (45). He hit .322 and was the only Lobo to appear in all 59 games this season. His doubles total tied for the NCAA lead among all freshmen. His play earned him All-Mountain West Second Team honors, and he was also named to the Mountain West All-Tournament Team after hitting .353 (6-for-17) with two homers, two doubles and eight runs in UNM’s five games in Reno, Nev., last month.

The Colorado Rockies annual Futures Game will be June 8 at Coors Field.

Over the years, the format and selection process have been modified and this year the Rockies have invited more players than usual (some chosen will not be available to play) for both the the Senior and Underclassmen teams.

The prep game will be about a half-hour after the Rockies play the Los Angeles Dodgers at 2:10 p.m.

Also, the Rockies will have all prep players and their families on the field to be honored before the Rockies-Dodgers first pitch.
